Duane made, what I deem the daunting task of re-mortgaging incredibly easy. A short conversation gave him the understanding of exactly what we needed. After not too long he replied with his top 5 choices and all of these presented savings compared to our current package. When asking for advice the language used was jargon free, clear and simple which allowed us to make a considered decision. Duane did all the heavy lifting for changing our mortgage from the old lender to the new. Overall it was a seamless process and effortless to work with Mortgage Choice Coffs Harbour.

Duane was amazing from start to finish helping me buy my first home, he made the experience completely stress free on my behalf and made sure everything ran smoothly for me at all times while teaching me about the process ! I highly recommend Duane for any process you are trying to achieve and couldn’t thank him enough for getting me into my dream home so quick and easily!

My recent experience with Mortgage Choice was extremely positive and I highly recommend him.
From the very first time I spoke with Duane over the phone, I felt very confident I had found the right mortgage broker. He took the time to talk me through the process and to answer all my questions. From that initial conversation, I then went to see him at his office and found him very approachable and competent throughout the subsequent meetings. Once the purchase was finalised, he kept in contact with me, regularly checking how everything was going.

I used Duane recently to obtain a home loan. He went above and beyond to get things sorted for me. His communication was great and no question was to difficult. I recommend him to anyone looking for a loan and will use him again if the need arises. Thanks Duane.

Duane helped my husband and I get a home loan, throughout the process he explained everything to us in terms we could understand, answered our many questions, responded quickly with our phone calls and emails, and made the experience worry free taking the stress out of it. Duane is easy going, approachable and trustworthy. I highly recommend him, and will be dealing with him again in the future!

Extra Information

Home Buyer Concession Scheme

From 1 July 2019, the FHOG ACT has been replaced with exemptions on stamp duty. The stamp duty exemption is applicable to all properties in ACT, including vacant residential land and both new and established homes at any price. As this is still to aid first home buyers, to be eligible at least one buyer must live in the home for at least 12 months, starting within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

To be eligible, first homeowners in the ACT must have a household income below $160,000. This number increases up to $176,000 depending on the number of children you may have.

Stamp duty concessions in NSW

From 1 August 2020, the NSW government has announced that stamp duty will not be applicable to first home buyers for properties valued up to $800,000 and vacant land valued up to $400,000. This stamp duty exemption will be in place for 12 months to 31 July 2021, in which the stamp duty exemptions will revert back to $650,000 for homes and $350,000 for land.

Additionally, a concessional rate of duty will apply to homes valued more than $800,000 but less than $1,000,000 and vacant blocks of land valued more than $400,000 and less than $500,000

How much is the First Home Owners Grant NSW?

A home is substantially renovated when most or all of the original house was removed or replaced, and it’s the first time the place has been sold, and lived in, after the renovations were completed.

If you plan to build a new home from scratch, you can still be eligible for the FHOG in NSW as long as your land plus the home you build have a combined value of less than $750,000.

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $15,000 First Home Owner Grant.

You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

Whereas if your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $8,750, which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available to first home buyers in Qld.

Additionally, savings on stamp duty may still be available if you pay between $500,000 and $550,000 for your first home. As a guide, if your first home is worth $505,000, you pay stamp duty of $1,050, a saving of $7,875. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more. On a property valued at $550,000, for example, the stamp duty would work out to be $10,600.
